Kamogawa-kan Inn

Location was good The whole hotel had a bad smell throughout. The onsen bath was also old and smelly.

We loved the traditional breakfast and the attention to detail. Fantastic location next to the Kamo River.

True to the last in every aspect. Felt like we were stepping back in time. The bathroom felt like they were taking the “stepping back in time” aspect a little too far. Oldest hairdryer I’ve ever used (hardly worked), also the bathroom seriously needs an update. Also, the tatami mat cloth was frayed in some areas (this is just me being picky).

Breakfasts were amazing Shower seemed to be a bit moldy

Breakfast was traditional Japanese. It was well-crafted. Every minute detail was explained. The staff was very forthcoming. The Japanese tatami rooms were quite an agreeable change from usual experiences. There was one bug in my room. But maybe that can't really be helped.

Friendly service and clean

Location, free stuff No privacy, they keep entering the room while we were there using their spare key. No indoor lock, no disturb sign available. The room and bed are dusty and smelly. Air quality in the room full of dust.

My reason for this visit was to watch the Gion Matsuri. This property is located a block away from the route! It sits on the border of Pontocho and Gion districts, so a short walk from the Geiko (Kyoto Geisha) areas (did see some walking to their next gigs). Close to a major food/shopping area. The property also has an onsen, and breakfast (Japanese and western set menu options) is included. Staff was extremely helpful in calling for cabs, pointing out attractions nearby and further away. Room is traditional tatami style, (and huge by Japanese standards). Bedding is futon Not noted on the website (or I missed it), but there is a room safe in the cubby under the TV) Half a block away from a subway entrance east and bus lines west, easy transportation options No laundry on site, but a travelers coin laundromat is half a block away across the street. Food area is only available during breakfast, which is at a scheduled time slot (no walk-ins). Plenty of food options just out the door

The property is in a perfect location, walkable to everything. Had a very private and gorgeous onset on the property m. Nothing, everything was exceptional.

Lovely staff, a spacious room and great breakfast. Instead of a buffet we were served a traditional set meal. Lovely! The public bath was quite small, with limited amenities and we saw two cockroaches as well as a big spider in the room.

Really nice place to stay, room was big and if you are willing to enjoy a Japanese experience is a nice place to stay

Great location but rather worn down. Worn down.

The traditional Japanese breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Location was superb, close to fantastic eateries and easy access to the metro. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was a bonus to experience sleeping on a futon, although a bit hard to get out of bed in the morning! N/A

Great location yet in need of an urgent refurbishment.

Location - nothing else Absolute disappointment Not sure if all rooms were like ours but it was super worn out . Carpet was dirty and with stains, wallpapers ripped off, paint peeled off, furniture (if we can call lt like that) scratched and stained Thanks God we stayed only 2 days . This hotel needs some serious renovation

Exceptional

Superb

A lovely place to stay and excellent location.

Location was great It would be nice to have an addition mirror other than the bathroom for multiple people getting ready in the room.

Great location! The room service was a little too much for us. There were multiple times when we were trying to relax in the room and people came in. Maybe having a do not disturb sign would be helpful?
